Yeti's Romantic Side
The base Yeti is an onslaught of the senses — big roasty malt, caramel, toffee, 75 IBUs of American hop character — but this variant trades the hop bite for indulgence. Chocolate leads, strawberry puree follows, and the coconut sugar and lactose turn the whole thing velvety, sweet till the very last sip. It is a limited seasonal release in the tall 19.2oz can, the kind of beer that disappears from shelves fast and drinks like dessert in the best possible way. Find it in craft beer, stout and more from Great Divide at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: inky, near-black pour. Nose: dark chocolate, roasted malt, a whiff of strawberry. Palate: rich and sweet — chocolate, strawberry, lactose creaminess, none of the base Yeti's bitterness. Finish: smooth, sweet, lingering cocoa.
How to Enjoy
Serve cool, not ice-cold, in a snifter or tulip so the chocolate and strawberry open up. Pair it with chocolate desserts, or just drink it as the dessert.
